Awesome lightweight distribution. I've been using it for the last decade.

The LTS-Versions are very stable and bugfree. The STS-Versions can have some issues at times. So don't use them, if you're not willing to invest some time to fix them.

As others have noted, problems with bugs that were never fixed, (Ubuntu). Installed it a few months ago and found python 2 file was corrupted. Rather than try to fix it and the other problems I just moved on to another distro. Tried it again recently, same bug on python 2 corrupted file and this has been reported to Ubuntu but never fixed either here or other distros of the Ubuntu flavors. With all the problems I found on Xubuntu I have no idea how they would rate a 9.0. The only pro of course is XFCE and it is light on resources. Perhaps if your willing to fix the bugs and problems it might work for you but I`ll stick with Mint, stable, fast with XFCE and a better support team.

It's a great distro! It doesn't use more than 300 MB of RAM after a reboot, and whilst Xfce might not be as good as GNOME or KDE, it's very customisable, though some interesting plugins are outdated. Ubuntu flavours are a lot better than the original…
